When?

• Now!: Preschool years as foundational,

fundamental, basic, crucial• Early development windows of opportunity

(e.g., flexibility)• Beginning of enduring healthy or unhealthy habits

• Moderate & vigorous activities throughout the day• Preschoolers should not sit for more than 1 hour

and should spend less than 2 hours of screen time total daily

Where?Indoors• Duck-duck-goose• Follow the leader• Treasure hunt• Hide and seek • Ring around the rosy• Simon says• Activities inside recreation

center• Walking around shopping

mall

Where?Outdoors• Sports• Running• Freestyle dance   • Playing catch • Games in the yard or park

  • Play in playing structure• Family walks after dinner  • Family bike rides

Walking

• Easy and affordable way to get moving and get outside

• From a walk around the block to walking a dog, to a mountain hike, opportunities to explore and learn

• Walking and hiking improve cardiovascular health and build stronger bones

Biking

• Fun, family-friendly activity, can help improve endurance and balance

• Use bike as a means of "active transport" to get places faster while also getting healthier

• Explore community by bike together

Swimming• When the weather is warm, there is

no better way to cool off - or get fit

• Burns more calories per hour than

almost any other activity

• Improves cardiovascular health and leads to greater strength and flexibility

• It's low-impact, easier on joints

How?

Moving by Example• Active adults tend to raise active children • Adults influence children’s attitudes, actions, habits• Moving as a family and as a class are fun, and have

bonding power• Children who feel supported by adults to be active, or

are surrounded by others who are, are more likely to be active

• Move together, stressing cooperation, fun, and health, rather than competition, weight, and performance

How?

Moving by Example• Take the stairs instead of the elevator• Walk around the block after meals• Make a house rule: no sitting still during TV ads• Find time to spend together doing a fun activity:

family park day, swim day or bike day• Issue a challenge to achieve a

Presidential Active Lifestyle Award by committing to physical activity 5 days a week, for 6 weeks
